Solvent Uptake of Liquid Rubber Toughened Epoxy/Clay Nanocomposites
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Carboxyl-terminated poly (butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (CTBN) liquid rubber toughened epoxy (epoxy/CTBN blend) and CTBN-toughened epoxy/clay nanocomposites (epoxy/clay/CTBN nanocomposites) were prepared, and solvent (acetone) ...
Preparation and characterization of urea-formaldehyde microcapsules filled with paraffin oil
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Paraffin oil was encapsulated in a urea–formaldehyde polymer shell by in situ polymerization. The effect of modifying the fabrication parameters, specifically the emulsifier, the core material concentration, the stirring ...
Tailoring of the thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties of the polypropylene foams using gamma-irradiation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study investigate the influence of gamma-irradiation (GI) doses from 0 up to 50 kGy on the polypropylene (PP) foams, mainly the impact on their structural and physical properties. It was found that structural properties ...
Sensitive detection and glycoprofiling of a prostate specific antigen using impedimetric assays
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
This study presents a proof-of-concept for the development of an impedimetric biosensor for ultra-sensitive glycoprofiling of prostate specific antigen (PSA). The biosensor exhibits three unique characteristics: (1) analysis ...
Polymer chain dynamics in epoxy based composites as investigated by broadband dielectric spectroscopy
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Epoxy networks of the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) were prepared using 3,3′- and 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone isomer crosslinkers. Secondary relaxations and the glass transitions of resultant networks were probed ...
Anisotropy in CNT composite fabricated by combining directional freezing and gamma irradiation of acrylic acid
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A novel fabrication process for composite consisting of organized modified carbon nanotubes (CNT) in the polyacrylic acid (PAA) matrix has been developed. The CNT were organized along crystallite domains during a directional ...
Molecular scale cure rate dependence of thermoset matrix polymers
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This manuscript demonstrates the molecular scale cure rate dependence of di-functional epoxide based thermoset polymers cured with amines. A series of cure heating ramp rates were used to determine the influence of ramp ...
Structural, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of lead-free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 ceramics prepared by spark plasma sintering technique
(
Scientific Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
Lead-free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) fine-grained ceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering method. Single phase ceramics with an ABO3 perovskite structure were confirmed by X-ray diffraction method. The grain morphology ...
Flexible thermo-electrochemical cells using Iodolyte HI-30 for conversion of low-grade heat to electrical energy
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
In this research work, we investigated the flexible thermo-electro chemical cells (TECs) for the conversion of low-grade heat into electrical energy in the temperature range of 20–70 °C. The TECs were fabricated using 30 ...
Structural and electrochemical properties of electrodeposited Ni-P nanocomposite coatings containing mixed ceramic oxide particles
(
Electrochemical Science Group
, 2016 , Article)
Mixed oxide ceramic particles were incorporated into Ni-P matrix to synthesize Ni-P-TiO2-CeO2 nanocomposite coatings. In the present study, the effect of concentration of mixed oxide ceramic particles (TiO2 and CeO2) on ...
